TIE TRAMP.
AS RECITED by DAN CoLLYER.

Lemme sit down q minute, a stones got
in my shoe;
Don't you commence your oussin',

Yes, Pm a tramp. What oft? Folks say
we amt no good.
But tramps has TO live, recon, though
folks don't think we should.
Once | was strong and handsome, and
plenty Of cash and clothes;
That WAS afore | tipped, and gin got
into my nose.
Down in the Lehigh Valley me and my
people grew:
was blacksmith, cap'en-yes, and a
good one, too;
Me ard my wife and Nellie; Nellie was
She was the pOOtiest creeter the valley
bad ever seen.
Beaux? Why, she had a dozen had 'em
from near and fur.
But they we're mostly farmers-none OF
'em suited her.
There was q city straDger-young, hand
some, and tall,
Curse himAI wish had him strangled
agin' that wall.
He was the man for Nelie-she didn't
know no ILL.,;
Mother, she tried to stop IL but you
know ayOung gals will.
Well, it's the same old stOry-cOmmOn
enough, you'll say.
He WAS soft-tongued devil, and got her
TO run away.
More than a month or after we heard
from the poor Young thing
He'd gone away and left her without a
wedding ring.
Back to her home we brought her, back
to her mothers side,
Filled with raging feyer-she fell at
my feet and died.
Frantic with shame and trouble, her
mother began to sink,
Dead-in less than fortnight
when took drink.
Gimme one glass. curnel, and then I'll
be on my way;
III tramp till I'll find that scOundrel, If

DALLAS makes new departure for
Texas with her elevated railroad for
which she has just filed a charter with
the secretary Of state.

meeting any OF the champions of dis

giving reason for the anti-prohibition

The grading on the Kerrville road has
developed tine quarry Of stone on the

The county commissioners OF Bexar

one stone. They will do 5000 worth
OF work on our county roads, a very
much needed Improvement, and give
work to the drouth sufferers'as we'll.
ALL the sport that is made OF the in
terstate commission can not blind the
country to the fact that they have
buokled down to hard work and are
mastering the details of the carving

THERE will be less gas and more gen.

Which one?
THAT dirty letter OF Rosser's, the Con-
federate csvalryman whom Gen. Sheri-
dams couTged like a whipped hound out
OF the valley Of the Shenandoah, is of no
earthly use except to show how far an
unrepentant and unreconstructed rebel
can abuse the clemency Of the govern

false to his own oath of fealty.

courageous and honest and open and
manly. Lori Landsdowne, as governor
OF Canada, living In regal splendor, adds
to his immense income by imposing
ruinous rents upon his poor tenants
In Ireland. Falling to secure their pay
ment, the Governor General Of Canada
ordered eviction Of all tenants who
were in arrears. Threatened with an
expose OF his inhumanity, the greedy
lord acceeded to the advice OF his
agent and promised to reduce his rents
so that his tenants could pay and still
have means Of support. Before this
humane proposition could be
made effective, Landsdown traitorously
withdrew his consent and ordered his
agent to evict, no doubt Influenced
thereto by the course OF the conserya-
nves in parliament. WIN. 0'Brien, edi-
tor Of United Ireland, has crossed the
seas In order to lay before the lrishmen
Of Canada a list Of the grievances under
which Landsdowne's tenants groan. and

revocation Of his order for eviction.
How he will succeed, remains an unset
tied question. There lie little doubt but
that O'Brien's purpose is TO arraign
Lsndsdowne before the bar Of public
opinion in Canada and brand him as the
oppressor of the brothers Of the 10000
Irishmen who form an influential part OF
the Canadian population. Whether the
plucky lrishman will return to Ireland
as free rs he came over, or whether he
will return in the custody OF crown Of
1oer, at public expense, charged with
the high crime Of melting sedition
against her majesty's representative In
Canada, cannot now be determined.
The game Is a mighty risky one, and Its
sequel is by no means promising to Mr..
VIM. O'Brien.

HERE Is what the Fort Worth Gazette,
so graphically and with such native
courtesy and good taste, says, concern
ing the nomination of Gen. BuGkner:
Listen to the radical howl. The nomi-
nee OF the democratic party for governor
Of Kentucky, is Gen, Buckner, a well
known commander In the confederate
army. The Ratchet has been buried, but
its resurrection will take place on Ieu-
trail ground, and there will be no end to
the stuff written declaring that rebel Of
ficers are the choice of the southern peo-
pie for positions of trust" The wish is
father to the thought. The Gazette only
fears that there will be no howl, and so
tries to provoke one in order to solidify
his south. Too thin, Mr.. Gazette. The
cry has lost its charm. Now please cite
to rs the radical paper that has hOwled
over Gen. BuOkner's nomination?

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The cooperative idea In America 10
certainly taking root. From small things
1t Is growing to greater things and ever
grasping more and more important In
dustries. Large manufacturers are be-
coming less averse to arranging wage
schedules on the cooperative plan, and
In many heavy shops, where hundreds Of
workmen are employed, the arrange
ments are working satisfactorily which
divide the profits over salaries and in
terest with the employees according to
rate of wages earned. The number OF
such establishments Is growing, and In
these the question OF strikes and lock-
outs may be considered settled. The
walking delegate will have little influ-
enoe over a shop full Of Intelligent men
whose wages are somewhat determined
by the profits OF the business they are
assisting to conduct. The firms that
have taken this departure seem very
we'll satisfied with the result, and there
is not much danger OF any return on
their part to the old order. This plan of
profit sharing with employees has
passed its experimental stage so far as
manufacturing concerns are interested.
A new thing, however, nnder the sun, Is
the application Of this same principle TO
the employees of railway corporation.
This has been done by the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Northern railroad Of Michi-
gan, and its results will be watched
with very general interest by all who
are interested in the solution OF the
labor problem of this present. While
labor agitations continue, and the dan
ger to industrial enterprise grows SEEM
ingly greater by an increased tendency
to strikes, it is gratifying to notice these
new departures In the direction of CO.
operation of capital and labor, which IL
made general would forever set at rest
all the difficulties Of the labor situation
in this country. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that this innovation of the Toledo
Ann Arbor and Northern railway will
prove SO successful that other roads may
be induced to adobt it, and so widen the
sphere Of cooperative labor. By this
means, and probably by this alone, will
the labor problem Of America be solved.

A PLUcKY FRESHMAN.

The attempt Of the Irish National
Land league to carry the war into Az
RIGA, by boarding Lord Landsdowne, the
great evictor, on the steps of his semi
imperial throne at the capital OF the
Canadian confederation, will be watched
with intense interest. The situation is
particularly dramatic. 1t has Its sItua-
tons, and very startling possibilities
may grow into certainties before the
drama closes. The intimstion given in
the LIGHTS telegraph columns Of yes
terday, of the unpleasant character
Of O'Brien's voyage scross seas in
the Umbria, may be accepted as fore
taste Of what the editor of United Ire
land may look for, when be braves

A Bloody ARRAY

Is often the result of bad blood in family
or community, but nowhere is bad blood more
destructive of happiness and health than in
the human system. When the life current is
foul and sluggish with impurities, and is
slowly distributing its poison to every part of
the body, the peril TO health, and life even, is
imminent. Early symptoms are dull and
drowsy feelings. severe headaches, coated
tongue, poor appetite, indigestion and general
lassitude. Delay in treatment may entail the
most serious consequences. Don't let disease
get a strong hold on your constitution, but
treat yourself by using DR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. and be restored to the
blessings of health. All druggists.
